Distinction · 3 prestige critics

Vigneti Cenci produces sparkling wines in Franciacorta, Lombardia's celebrated region for méthode classique bottlings. The winery focuses on two distinct expressions: La Capinera Cuvée Rosè Brut, a blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Blanc, and La Via della Seta Cuvée Satèn Brut, made from Chardonnay alone. Both wines have been assessed by Wine Enthusiast and Decanter. Franciacorta's cool continental climate and limestone-rich soils create the conditions for high-acidity, mineral-driven sparkling wines—a style that demands precision in the cellar and patience during aging. Vigneti Cenci's selections reflect the region's commitment to finesse and complexity in the glass.
